[PATCH 1/2] soc: qcom: ocmem: fix device leak on lookup

From: Johan Hovold

Date: Fri Sep 26 2025 - 10:35:42 EST


Make sure to drop the reference taken to the ocmem platform device when
looking up its driver data.

Note that holding a reference to a device does not prevent its driver
data from going away so there is no point in keeping the reference.

Also note that commit 0ff027027e05 ("soc: qcom: ocmem: Fix missing
put_device() call in of_get_ocmem") fixed the leak in a lookup error
path, but the reference is still leaking on success.

Fixes: 88c1e9404f1d ("soc: qcom: add OCMEM driver")
